[Verse 1]
Living in a struggle
Still I pack the lunch
Still I pay the lights
Still I take the front
Kids in clean clothes
Even if I'm worn out
Smile through the stress
Never let 'em see drought
I'm the one they call
When the world gets heavy
I show up quick
Even when I ain't steady
Same hands give love
Same hands take the hit
But when I need mine
They act like I don't exist
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep going
Even while I bleed
Holdin' everybody up
Who gon' hold me?
I keep giving
Till there's nothing left
Got a full house
And a lonely chest
[Chorus]
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
I been strong
Way too long
If I fall down
I still move on
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
[Verse 2]
Late bills on the table
Groceries in the bag
School forms filled out
Never let my kids sag
First one up
Last one to sleep
Countin' all my losses
Quiet, deep
They love the version
That never complains
But they don't see the weight
Or the backdoor pain
I learned real quick
Love can get cheap
When your heart is a house
And they all need keys
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep going
Even while I bleed
Holdin' everybody up
Who gon' hold me?
I keep giving
Till there's nothing left
Got a full house
And a lonely chest
[Chorus]
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
I been strong
Way too long
If I fall down
I still move on
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
[Bridge]
Maybe pain made me tougher
Maybe tears made me wise
Maybe I stopped askin'
'Cause I knew their eyes
Still I rise for my babies
Still I bite through the storm
If nobody else shows up
I'll keep my own heart warm
[Chorus]
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
I been strong
Way too long
If I fall down
I still move on
Who got me?
Who got me?
I keep everybody up
Who got me?
